Not quite yet. And human programmers can be quite inscrutable
unless they can seriously document their source code.

To the contrary FDR in the Depression raised taxes and spent
money and that helped the nation get ready for WW II. Eisenhower
kept taxes high, paid off war debts, educated and helped house
the Veterans of WW II and got the interstate highway system built.
Incidentally discrimination against black veterans keep them from
access to the same benefits. I don't even know what one means by
"globohomo". Private ownership of real estate and good are threatened
by holding companies that buy up homes and then use them as rentals.
Large developments are being bought up in this way preventing the sale
to individuals keeping them out of the housing market.

RFK, a rich man's son cut taxes on his economic class.
Reagan did the same thing. Result is that with #45 he cut taxes
again creating the several Trillion dollar debt and the billionaires
rejoiced again.

An imbecile has signed up a lot of Republicans to a pledge
not to raise taxes. Not on the wealthiest ever. Result massive
deficit spending under #45 and inflation because of those tax
cuts. With with the complication of Covid-19, the war in
the Ukraine driving food prices particularly higher and the
decision of the industries to force higher prices on the rest
of the commodities of daily life.
Pledging not to raise taxes when needed is treasonous in my opinion and
at the least a neglect of the duties as set forth in
the Constitution. Mr Franklin agrees with me I think.

Mr.Lincoln also stated that without Labor there would be no

Well it depends on how much cultural loss there will inevitably
be assuming human life survives.
The calamity is nearly upon us with a good chance of Atlantic
Circulation being totally disrupted in the near future 2025.

Around here those outfits are known as "real estate investment trusts"
(REITs). Housing is viewed first and foremost as an investment;
the fact you happen to be able to live in it is incidental.
The rulers have a vested interest in making housing unaffordable.
